Ondle app helps learners recognise and pronounce all 50 British English sounds - with all their spelling combinations! It contains over 500 high quality recordings of common words by a native speaker with Oxford English accent - hence the name :)
The app covers all consonants, pure vowels and sliding vowels (diphthongs).
Learners have the opportunity to recognise, read and speak words through phonic awareness.
